I've Dated Worse

Disclaimer: So I guess we gotta go with this whole thing again, CBS owns Criminal Minds. Not me. :(

Summary: Hotch remembers Emily telling him in '52 Pick Up' that she's dated worse than Viper. Wanting to pursue a romantic relationship with Emily, so he decides to investigate her past dating record.

A/N: Makes mention of men on other tv shows outside of CM's world. May seem a little OOC, but that's what fanfics are for. Here's the last chapter, enjoy.

Emily opened the door to Hotch's office and recognized that frustrated look on his face.

"I take it, you just hanged up on Dennis Duffy" Emily said passing Hotch some aspirin and water.

"How can you tell?" Hotch asked taking the pill and drinking the water.

"Because only Dennis can cause that big of a headache with just a few words" Emily said chuckling, "It's his gift."

Emily sat down in the visitor's chair in front of his desk, looking at him.

"I'm not going to tell you that I told you it was a bad idea" Emily said "That look on your face says it all."

"Are you a glutton for punishment or lobbying for sainthood?" Hotch asked watching her pick up the ripped up list.

"Excuse me?" Emily asked looking up at him the list still in her hand.

"No one can date that many bad guys minus Sam Seaborn and Will Schuster" Hotch said "Unless they enjoy pain."

"What can I say?" Emily said looking at him and shrugging, "All the good ones are either gay, taken or not interested."

"So about those final three on your list?" Hotch asked "Why don't you tell me about them?"

"I dated Joey Tribbiani first, but then I met his friend Chandler and liked him better" Emily said looking down.

"And it was when and how did it end?" Hotch asked not judging.

"In the 90s, I ended it because I didn't want to break up their long standing friendship" Emily said biting her lip.

"That was a decent thing to do" Hotch said smiling at her.

"And now you want to know about Dave Malucci?" Emily asked "I met Dave when he was my doctor at a Chicago hospital in 2001."

Hotch nodded not wanting to interrupt.

"We were going good until he was fired from the hospital for having inappropriate relations in an ambulance with a paramedic. He got caught by his superior" Emily said "Needless to say getting fired then dumped on the same day didn't sit well with him."

"Oh" Hotch said looking sad for her "Whatever happened to him?"

"From what I heard, Dave works at a Los Angeles hospital where he's raising his son. I once heard he served in Doctors Without Borders" Emily said "I wasn't really even mad about what he done, we had a few great months. But that's all it was."

"So that's all of them?" Hotch asked "All the men that you can remember?"

"The ones that changed my life in different ways" Emily said.

"And where do I fit in?" Hotch asked.

"Would you like a place in my love life?" Emily asked smiling.

"I think I'd like to be the last one, the one that sticks around" Hotch said going over to her.

"I think I'd like that too" Emily said kissing him.

"Me too" Hotch said throwing the files and the list away.

David DeAngelo said, "Attraction is not a choice."
